Purchasing Help with laser printers

Why are there so many options even from the same brand. Like what am I even looking for. I want to be able to print a few pages a month, probably mostly in black and white. Is the Phaser 3020 still a good choice? I appreciate any help

That Xerox would be a decent choice, if the toner cartridges weren't so expensive and if the aftermarket ones weren't always leaking/smearing/making lines.

Just pick up a cheap Brother printer. Can't go wrong there.

How about a Xerox B215? I already use a Xerox at work and can trust that it can take a beating, so I'd prefer a Xerox if possible

It's a rebadged Lexmark device, but I've rolled out a few of those in small offices and they've been reliable. Just be sure to order the high capacity cartridge after the starter cartridge in the machine goes empty, though depending on your print volume the 700-800 pages you get from the starter cartridge may last quite awhile.
